If you do not understand some of the abbreviations or terms used, the Google is your friend. You can also do a search of the forum for any of the many similar cases to yours.
I'd been thinking that a "sticky" here with a glossary/list of abbreviations might be useful.
People like you and the other experts here already go above and beyond with the giving of time, so I'm not asking any of you to do it.
I'd be happy to go off and do the Googling (or "Binging") and put together a document, format it, spell-check it etc, if someone could give me a list of abbreviations to work on.
When done it would need one of the mavens to spend 5-10 minutes checking it to make sure I'd not put rubbish in.
-
Will do that today, and the n244 form cheers.
Will update here when done
-
The N244 application for set aside needs to be made as soon as is practical.

You have not yet contacted the CNBC, Civil National Business Centre, where the claim was issued from. You have been told what you need to do.
-
I haven't contacted the CNBC what is that?
I've been patient, just don't know if I have enough time to submit the form etc
-
So basically no one can help me? Wow..!!
If you are unhappy with the service you have received from FTLA, we can offer you a full refund of the £0 we charge.
This is a busy forum where advice is provided for free by volunteers with the sole purpose of saving you money, and sometimes you will have to wait a little while for advice. Please be patient. In the meantime, did you contact the CNBC?

Do I have a timescale as to when I should send this in and how?
-
I have only received this one ticket but many debt recovery letters is what I meant to say, but never received the claim form which I was expecting. Instead got a ccj default through the post.
Would you able to guide me as to which form I need to fill in with the £313?
Really appreciate the help
-
That CCJ is for a single PCN. You say you received many more. They cannot sue you again for the remaining ones under action estoppel. However, I refer you to an answer I gave someone in a similar situation where they never received an LoC or the claim form:
You will have to apply for a set aside which will cost £313. You must send a SAR to DCB Legal making sure you receive a copy of the Letter of Claim (LoC) and evidence of it having been posted.
You will also have to contact the CNBC and get them to send you the Particulars of Claim (PoC) and the issue date of the claim. Tell them you never received the N1SDT claim form and you will require evidence of it having been posted as you can rebut them saying it was sent without this proof.
If you can also evidence issues with your post being unreliable or erratic, keep that handy. You will be applying for a set aside under both CPR 13.2 and 13.3.
If DCB Legal cannot evidence having posted the LoC, you can claim your costs (£313) back from them. If the court believes that the claim was never served correctly, especially if there is no evidence it was posted to you, it is a compulsory set aside.
Even if there is evidence of posting either the LoC or the claim form (doubtful), the court has discretion to set aside the CCJ as there is a good chance you have a defence to the claim

So n244 form is to complete if a default decision is made?

Can anyone assist me with this at all?
-
What is an n244 form and can I possibly apply for a set under CPR 13.2 OR 13.3?
Any help with this is much appreciated.
-
No I didn't receive one of those, in between the last full debt recovery letter dated 18th June then 2 months later ccj, this is got to be a joke.
I have attached all documents original post from POPLA etc.
-
I think you need to help us try to fill in some of the blanks here.
You received the original Notice to Keeper, we assume, because you manged to appeal it. Have you, at any point between then and now, changed address?
As well as receiving a Letter of Claim, you should also have received a Claim Form, from the court, prior to the judgement in default that you have shown us. The Claim Form looks somewhat similar to the judgement in default, but says "Claim Form" in the top left. Did you receive one of these?
-
At least worst, if you pay within 30 days of the judgment, so in the next 20 days, the CCJ will be expunged and there will be no impact on your ability to get credit etc. in future.
What happens if I don't have the money to pay?
-
No I didn't receive any letters through the post or I would have known,in all fairness I was actually waiting for the lbc, but didn't receive it
-

-
You were taken to court by DCB Legal and did not respond, either because you ignored it or because you did not know.
DCB Legal applied for a judgment in default against you, which was awarded, and now the court states that you owe them £319.72.
Can you fill in the blanks?
What happened?
Did you ignore or did you not know?
If you did not know, why not?
-
I have added what the court has written
-
The first link doesn't work. We need to see whatever you have received from the court.
-
I didn't receive a letter before claim, I had my bb on display when the contravention occered. I put this up on pepipoo 3 years ago and has now vanished. Any help is much appreciated.
